Award-Winning teacher. AQA A level examiner, Head of Social Sciences and Experienced Tutor. I get brilliant results for my tutees.

I’m relatively new to this platform but have 25 years of experience in teaching A levels and GCSE's to an excellent standard. As an AQA examiner and the Head of Social Sciences at a high-achieving school in North London, I have a proven track record of helping students achieve top grades in Psychology and Sociology. My students regularly achieve A*-B at A level and 8/9’s at GCSE. Our most recent results were absolutely stunning! My students nearly always hit their target grade and usually exceed them.

Qualifications and Expertise

  • Degrees: BA in Psychology and History from Keele University, PGCE (fully qualified teacher status) and MA in Educational Leadership.
  • Examiner: Experienced AQA examiner with in-depth knowledge of exam techniques and high-grade attainment.
  • Leadership: Head of Social Sciences and former Head of Sixth Form, providing key insights into the exam system.
  • Teaching: Ofsted Inspectors have observed me multiple times in the classroom and judged my teaching to be 'outstanding.' I’m also in charge of my Sixth Form’s teaching and learning strategy across all subjects.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a fully qualified teacher for over 25 years and recently received an award from the Jack Petchey Foundation for my leadership in Sixth Form teaching. My own school students nominated me for this award, highlighting my dedication to their success:

''Kam encourages us to exceed our potential, offering extra help and consistent support. His engaging teaching style, excellent questioning, and real-world context make complex concepts accessible."

*Exam Board Experience

I have taught and have experience with all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and Eduqas. This broad experience allows me to tailor my tutoring to the specific requirements of each board.

*Resources and Materials

I provide bespoke guides and a vast collection of past exam papers to prepare my tutees for success. My focus is on both exam technique and understanding syllabus content, ensuring students can apply their knowledge effectively.

Tutoring Approach

All students are unique and are at different points in their development. My tutoring style is personalized to meet the needs of each student whatever their level. I aim to make complex concepts and theories accessible, focusing on understanding terminology and applying their knowledge under exam conditions in an academically informed way. My goal is to build confidence and achieve excellent results.
